When we feel wronged most of us nurse the grievances for a long time some even for a life time. The hardest thing to give
up is a grievance and to forgive or to let go, we turn the knife within us increasing our wounds everytime till they become
incurable.
The time a person hurts us is the moment they cause us the injury the rest of the time it is we ourselves who are causing
the hurt to our minds and emotions by reliving the moment over and over again, metaphorically turning the knife within us
increasing the wound. So forgiveness which would let us let go of the hurt, which would help us to heal and become whole again
is needed not for the person who caused us the hurt but for our own mental and emotional well being.
It is only after forgiving soemone can we let go of the hurt they caused us, that we can begin to become whole again.
The be it poem
Tag.
You're it.
I just touched
you with the peace baton
and now you have to be it
for a day.
Peace
that is
going one whole day
(an eternity)
forgiving all things
thoughts
which seem to transgress
upon you.
This task now yours
Enjoy your day
finding peace to be much more
heavenly
than the hell you are used to.
Pass
it on!

Such a Pity!
Such pain
And mortal misery:
Such torment of mind,
Torture of the spirit,
Agony of the soul,
And anguish of the heart.
Such bitter spasms
Of spent emotions;
Wilting anger, hatred,
And malicious malevolence...
All for the lack
Of a little forgiveness.

A Prayer
Sweeten the soul, give
generously of what costs
nothing, grant peace to a
troubled mind and in doing so,
gain peace within.
Forgiveness, comes deep
from within, when given
freely, soothes as balm;
Grace, follows with gentle
footsteps.
Torment, begs torment
returned, ever circling as
a sparrow hawk, waiting
to drop on it's prey, hunted
unmercifully.
Compassion, tenders a
lightened soul,
allowing anger to disperse
and peace returns to
sweeten the soul ............

climb
i have hunted
to stop the haunting
peace is what i seek
i have searched my inner soul
climbed the highest peak
i have sought my own forgiveness
and sought to end my pain
i have climbed the highest mountain
and been haunted yet again
i've cast aside the demons
sought comfort for my soul
oh bittersweet revenge
enough to make me whole
now i know i cannot find
true answers outside of me
i hold the key to freedom
i hold the key to me
i can unlock the healing
from deep inside my soul
i can set my demons free
find peace and make me whole
find inner love and healing
a reason for my feeling
i don't need your forgiveness
i do not need to forgive
i need to free my inner child
give her permission just to live
free and strong and very whole
fly free my mortal soul

Forgive- but Why?
Hurt!
Betrayal!
Grudge;
a seed of evil
Planted within.
Spawning,
Pain,
resentment
Hatred!
Rising,
Gripping!
Mounting,
Controlling,
Overwhelming
Gnawing
Rust
Eroding
Eating away
The mind
Acid
Wearing away
Corroding.
Cancer
Spreading
Growing
All consuming
Twisting
Destroying
The soul
Beyond recognition!
Forgiveness
Letting go
Ridding
Cleansing
Expunging
Exorcizing
Evil.
Liberating
The mind!
Healing
The heart!
Restoring
The soul
To serenity
health
spirituality
and Peace!
